TAO of Mark

Never pass up the opportunity to try something new, no matter how weird. You may miss out on the greatest thing ever

No one owes me anything, but I owe everyone something

Do what you can, when you can, with what you’ve got

Fatherhood is more than biology, attendance counts

To make another laugh, this is the greatest gift

Celebrating the success of a friend is the best

There are more important things than being right

Lack of understanding is directly related to the inability to communicate effectively

Correlation does not imply causation

Minimum effort yields minimum results

Don’t wait for perspective, be thankful and relax

If you really enjoy being divisive, why don’t you just split?

Everything in moderation, including moderation. Excess can be good for the soul.

Karma is law, Grace is choice. Love one another.

The Hammond Organ sings in the key of melancholy

In the face of confusion and chaos, optimism wins the day

Reflexes make for great athletics, not politics

It is said that perception is reality. So, if I look busy, is that the same as being busy?

A little self loathing is OK, just don’t get carried away

Act, don’t react

When inspiration calls, you’d do well to answer

Baby steps often become giant leaps

Despair takes too much energy

Say thank you

Leap, don’t look

Be provocative

Be ridiculous

Everyone is so sure of the rightness of their opinion and the righteousness of their cause, and my list of things I’m sure about is shorter than the list of things I’m unsure about – I must be doing something wrong

Yell, holler and scream, but never in anger at each other

Be thankful for what you have, some would kill or die to have the same
